Odd. I've been using kmail for a couple of years now and occasionally 
try out other mail clients. I've had no problems, the mbox files all look 
normal to both myself and the clients. The only problem I can think of is 
kmails index files getting out of sync with the mbox, which means sometimes 
you might have to delete the index files and let kmail rebuild them.
